The future looks bright for the Miami Hurricanes at quarterback.
The Hurricanes have a verbal commitment from Milton HS (Georgia) standout Luke Nickel . He led his high school team to a state championship at a junior in 2023. Nickel is in the Sunshine State this weekend competing at Battle 7v7 Miami.
Nickel’s 7 on 7 team is coached by former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL star, Cam Newton . Nickel was described to me as clearly the best quarterback performer at Battle.
I sat down with high school football analyst Larry Blustein on my Locked On Canes podcast for a Luke Nickel breakdown:
“I was so impressed with Nickel,” Blustein said. “I watched him last year and I’ve watched him on field. In just a short seven or eight months, he’s emerged as a top five quarterback in the entire country. He’s a big time kid. He makes all the throws and he has good size.”
Nickel is currently listed at 6-2, 205 lbs.
247Sports and On3 have him rated as a 3-Star prospect, while Rivals considers him a 4-Star.
